๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russiaโ€™s President Vladimir #Putin: We have no contradictions with practically any #African country, and the level of trust and mutual sympathy is very high.

โ—๏ธFirst of all, because in the history of our relations with the African continent there has been no shadow โ€“ we have never engaged in the exploitation of African peoples, never engaged in anything inhumane on the African continent.

๐Ÿค On the contrary, we have always supported Africa, Africans in their struggle for their independence, for sovereignty, for the creation of some basic conditions for economic development.

<โ€ฆ>

โ˜๏ธ But in reality, something completely different is under threat. What is under threat is precisely this monopoly of the West which it acquired for a time at the end of the XX century after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ President of Russia Vladimir #Putin:

We believe that the United States made a mistake by unilaterally destroying the INF Treaty in 2019 under far-fetched pretext.

โ˜๏ธ Today, the United States is not only producing such equipment, but, as we can see, it has worked out ways to deploy its advanced missile systems to different regions of the world, including Europe, during training exercises for its troops. Moreover, in the course of these exercises, they are conducting training for using them.

โ—๏ธAs a reminder, #Russia has voluntarily and unilaterally committed not to deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles until #US weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin paid a state visit to Kazakhstan on 27-28 November 2024 and took part in the #CSTO Summit in Astana.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Important points from the Russian leaderโ€™s answers to media questions about Ukraine crisis and security issues following the talks.

๐Ÿ”บ The damage from โ€œ#Oreshnikโ€ is substantial: everything at the centre is reduced to ash, objects located at a depth of three or four floors below are affected.

๐Ÿ”บThe Russian army is advancing steadily across most of the line of contact, and it will likely continue to do so.

๐Ÿ”บ Russia does not rule out the combat employment of Oreshnik on military-industrial facilities or command centres, including those in #Kiev.

๐Ÿ”บConditions for a lasting and stable peace were presented in detail at the meeting with the Russian Foreign Ministry leadership in June 2024, thereโ€™s nothing else to add.

โ—๏ธ#Russia will not allow Kiev regime to obtain nuclear weapons. In case #Ukraine gets them, Russia will deploy all weapons it has.

๐Ÿ”บ#Europe has been debased big time and ceased to exist as an independent political and sovereign centre of international politics.

โ˜๏ธ Russia possesses adequate resources and a safety margin to aid #CSTO allies if required and capable of offering them as much support as it can.

๐ŸŽ™ President of Russia Vladimir #Putin: We have a lot in common with the peoples of #Africa.

Of course, I am talking about the years of independence struggle, liberation from colonialism. Nothing has ever separated us from African countries and the peoples of Africa.

๐Ÿค Everything that exists only unites us.
๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ President Vladimir Putin took part in an expanded meeting of the Defence Ministry Board at the National Defence Control Centre of the Russian Federation.

Important points of the Russian leaderโ€™s statement:

๐Ÿ”บ 2024 has been crucial in achieving the goals of the special military operation. Thanks to the professionalism and courage of our soldiers, the heroic efforts of defence industry workers, and the truly nationwide support for the army and navy, Russian troops maintain a strong strategic initiative along the entire line of contact.

๐Ÿ”บ The military-political situation in the world remains challenging and unstable. Bloodshed continues in the #MiddleEast, and there is a high potential for conflict in a number of other regions of the world.

๐Ÿ”บ #NATOโ€™s ambitions have long surpassed its historical responsibility zone. Apart from the so-called eastern flank, it is also building up its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

๐Ÿ”บ Equally concerning is the #US activity in developing high-precision ground-based strike systems with a firing range of up to 5,500 km and preparing them for deployment in forward zones.

โ˜๏ธ Moreover, the transfer and deployment of these missile systems are already being prepared in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

โ—๏ธ #Russia will lift its voluntary restrictions on the deployment of intermediate- and shorter-range missiles if the US begins to do so.

๐Ÿ”บ Given the escalating geopolitical tensions, Russia must adopt additional measures to ensure its security and the security of its allies. This is done carefully and thoughtfully, without becoming drawn into a full-scale arms race that would damage the socioeconomic development of the country.

๐ŸŽ™ President Vladimir Putin: We are not fighting with the #Ukrainian people, but with the regime โ€“ the neo-#Nazi regime in Kiev, which seized power back in 2014. The source of their authority is a state coup.

โ˜๏ธ All the troubles in both #Ukraine and #Russia began precisely after this bloody, anti-constitutional state coup. It remains relevant today because those in power are committing crimes against their own citizens and our citizens every day.

โ—๏ธ This regime has lost โ€“ or is at least evidently losing โ€“ the signs of statehood.

Some 300,000 people have returned to #Mariupol in #Donbass following the cessation of hostilities and its population continues to grow rapidly

๐ŸŽ™ President #Putin:

โ€œResidential buildings are being repaired or rebuilt. Where a building cannot be repaired, local authorities make the decision to demolish it and allocate the land for commercial development. Once developers build new housing there, buyers can purchase apartments with a mortgage at 2 percent.

โ˜๏ธ Home loans with 2-percent interest continue to be available in Russiaโ€™s new regions. In fact, that has triggered quite a construction boom there.โ€

๐Ÿ”นThe West escalates the situation, and Russia will always respond to any challenge;

๐Ÿ”นPutin does not believe that a third world war is ongoing: โ€œYou donโ€™t have to frighten anyoneโ€;
